It took Kane two months to climb the Cook Peak and cross the ice fields. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Located in the north-east of the central Rhine, the Cook Snow Peak is a mountain that rises more than 3,000 meters above the average altitude of the Rhine River.

The original plan was that they were going to descend from the middle of the ice field to Lake Tekapo and then return south to the Imperium-controlled area, but due to Mars and the others, Kane revised the plan again and went down the mountain to the eastern part of the ice field.

Although in the eyes of the team members, Kane is really redundant, after all, ordinary orcs are not in the habit of interrogating humans, not to mention Mars, they are not so easy to be caught, take 10,000 steps back, even if they have both, they will not set up a large army to encircle and suppress them for the sake of them.

It's just that Kane is used to being cautious in the military, and in any case, he is now carrying hundreds of human lives, and it is impossible to have no pressure at all.

Anyway, changing the route slightly doesn't make much difference to the current situation of the Gintama Army, and seeing that he is so stubborn, the other team members have agreed.

Most of the two months were on the road, but they encountered six or seven snowstorms, and even if the team was full of swordsmen, there was no way to guarantee absolute safety, so they could only find a nearby cave to avoid the snow, and often stayed for two or three days at a time.

On days when he couldn't make it, Kane basically relied on training to pass the time, and Jason naturally became his sparring partner.

And then the fun is great...

The son-in-law, who has suffered setbacks in Kane one after another, obviously holds a grudge, and every time he flattens Kane, he will inevitably be ridiculed.

"What a real dish!"

"Saying you're a bronze slag still lifts you up. ”

I don't know how much he took advantage of such a cheap mouth, and the angry Kane was ruthless in his heart, and he cultivated even more frantically, and as a result, he unexpectedly advanced to the median silver level at a rapid speed before going down the mountain!

As a commander, Kane has trained hard by example, and of course the other team members cannot be left behind, and after experiencing the battlefield, he finally realized the importance of strength, this moment is hard, although it is not as exaggerated and fast as Kane, but most of the team members have indeed improved to varying degrees.

The very small part of the rest is basically the same as Mars in the past, and it's not that they don't obey discipline, but they are used to being pampered on weekdays, not to mention cultivation, and after getting rid of the crisis, Kane occasionally arranged for them to delay some tasks.

Kane didn't have much to do about it for a while, as Jason said, no matter how good the team was, it was inevitable that there would be a few scum, not to mention that a team like theirs was full of arrogant masters, Kane was just a disgraced lieutenant in the end, and he was thankful that he could do this.

The self-confidence bred by the growth of strength made this team regain its lost spirit, as if it was when it set out from Bradit City that day, with this hesitation, the Silver Soul Army embarked on the journey again, and the difference is that at this time, in addition to the growth of strength, they are more calm and sophisticated.

From the eastern part of Cook Snow Peak, there is a forest of eternal silence that stretches from Cook Snow Peak in the north, Sunset Valley in the south, the Rigila Mountains in the west, and the Margera Mountains in the east, with only a few towns in between.

This inaccessible forest is not strategic, even if there are a few orcs once in a while, and the dense forest is easy to hide, and the beasts can be used to supply them, as long as there are no accidents through the Eternal Silence Forest, along the foot of the Marghera Mountains to the east of the forest, Kane and the others can return to the Empire.

It's just that life is like an aristocratic dinner, and you never know what dance music will be played next.

In the evening of that day, the Gintama Army was cautiously advancing in the forest as usual, when suddenly there was a crisp sound blowing leaves ahead, which was the code agreed with the scouts.

After a while, the Gintama Army, who were on standby rather than on alert, saw the grass in front of them be pushed away, and a scout slipped in silently.

"Report to the sir, a small team of orcs, the Blacktoe Clan, numbering six, is approaching us three miles ahead. The scout whispered

This is the second time in the past two months that the Gintama team has encountered an orc, and many team members' eyes lit up suddenly.

However, before they could prepare for it, Kane decisively ordered: "To the east, bypass them, and pass the order to the other scouts." ”

There is no point in destroying one or two small orc teams, but it is possible to attract the orcs to notice their team, and the gains outweigh the losses.

"But—" The scout didn't leave, but added, "They are still escorting the humans." ”

"What?!"

The soldiers of the Gintama Army were overjoyed, they hadn't seen a single living human since they came out of Bradit City, and none of the orcs they had caught in front of them had asked for useful information, and everyone wanted to know how the war was going now.

"How many?" Jason asked cautiously

"Not much, just one, male, and looking at the pretend, also a scout. ”

Hearing this, Jason stopped talking, a human is not a burden to the Silver Soul Army, and he is still a scout, and his foot strength in the forest is no worse than that of a swordsman.

Kane raised his head and swept his eyes across the surrounding woods, and began to arrange: "Jason, you lead people to set up an ambush on the right, Doro, you go to the left, Luo Yan and Custer support the periphery, and the rest of the people disperse and surround it, the old rule, leave one alive, and don't let the rest go!"

It was not the first time that the Silver Soul Army had done such a thing, and after several orders were issued in turn, they immediately performed their duties, and their figures disappeared among the treetops and grass, and the few traces they left behind were also swept away.

The woods that had been restored to tranquility were soon broken again.

Six orcs trapped a human soldier on his shoulders and walked from a distance, without any formation to speak of, giggling like a walk in the woods.

"Do it!"

As an inaudible voice sounded, dozens of figures jumped out of the surroundings in an instant, and before the orcs could react, the long sword containing fighting spirit had already slashed their heads and covered their faces.

The battle ended in an instant, and except for one orc who was controlled, the rest of the orcs were all in different places, and the bound humans were successfully saved.

Leaving the human alive for Jonas' interrogation, the two teams were tasked with burying the body and cleaning up the scene, while the rest of the people surrounded the human.

The human soldier was blindfolded and his mouth was stuffed with strips of cloth, and he only vaguely sensed that there was a battle around him, and his eyes widened the moment the strips of cloth were pulled apart.

"People... Human?" the scout said in surprise

"Imperial soldiers!" Kane smiled gently, "Hello, comrade-in-arms. ”

After a pause, he then cut to the chase and asked eagerly, "What is your unit? What happened? Why are you here? How is the front line now?"

The scout, who regained his composure, did not immediately answer Kane's questions about military intelligence, but asked vigilantly: "Which unit are you?"

"I was reckless. Kane realized his gaffe, he gave a military salute, and continued: "We are the Seventh Army of the Northwest Defense Line of the Patriotic Legion in Bradit City, under the command of the Carlos Army, the Silver Soul Legion, and an independent swordsman regiment. ”

“... The Seventh Legion in Bradit—" The scout checked the long list of Legion names that Kane had reported, and his eyes widened as he read the last word.

He exclaimed in disbelief, "You are General Carlos's Army, you are still alive??!

"It's our badge. Kane handed over his badge.

The scout, who had been freed from the ropes, examined it carefully, and finally let down his last guard, and he hurriedly gave a military salute.

Then he glanced at the team again with amazement, until he saw that everyone was already a little impatient looking at him, and then he said, "It's rude, sorry, after all, this is incredible, we all thought you had..."

"Dead?" Jason sneered

"Uhh

"If you die, we won't die!" Luo Yan glared at him angrily, and then said impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense, how is the front line? That is, General Carlos, and the city of Bradit?"

All the soldiers of the Silver Soul Army held their breath and widened their eyes, and their bodies subconsciously leaned towards the scout, and under this tense atmosphere, the scout only felt the pressure suddenly.

"Both... All safe. He hurriedly said

Hearing this, the soldiers of the Gintama Army paused, and then erupted in warm celebrations, and a few female soldiers even cried tears of joy, and even Jason, who always had a dead face, secretly turned over and quietly wiped the corners of his eyes.

"Great, I knew, I knew that my father wasn't so easy to get into trouble, woo..."

"Hey... Wait, you just used the title of lieutenant colonel when you spoke of Chief Zax, what does that mean?" Luo Yan asked suddenly

The scout's face became embarrassed again, he glanced at the crowd secretly, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Because of the lost soldier... The military department demoted Brigadier General Zacks to lieutenant colonel, and the letter of appointment was issued two months ago. ”

Hearing this, the faces of all the Silver Soul Army soldiers turned dark.

This chief has been working hard for most of his life, and finally sat on the general-level military position, and he was driven down by them before he could sit on the hot ass, and when he went back, he might not know how he would clean it up.

Thinking of this, all the soldiers shuddered, wondering if they should not go back at all...

"Soldiers. At this moment, Kane asked with a stern face: "Can you tell us in detail what has happened in the past two months?

The soldier nodded, then frowned, and from his mouth, Kane finally knew the current state of the Rhine, and although they had expected it, when they heard it with their own ears, everyone present was still surprised.
